So the Saturday before Halloween is almost upon us and you still don't have party plans? Well, once you're done realizing what a loser you are, take hope: There are still two giant events you can pay to join.

Hollywood Park, the racetrack and casino adjacent to the Forum in Inglewood, will host more than 100 bands on eight stages as part of the SoCal Rock Revolution, kicking off at 11 a.m. and running until 2 a.m. Sunday. Kottonmouth Kings (who will issue their Green Album next week), Unwritten Law, (hed) pe, Finch and Eek-a-Mouse are the top-billed acts. Organizers are expecting 10,000 attendees -- probably because every local band on hand will bring 100 friends. Tickets, $25, are available via TicketWeb.

That bash may be scary for reasons that don't involve spooky costumes. The annual DJ bonanza called Monster Massive at the L.A. Sports Arena, however, has all kinds of ghoulish treats in store, as promoters claim they will create "the ultimate Halloween environment, complete with the most advanced installation of sound, lighting and visuals."

Paul Van Dyk, Judge Jules and Markus Schulz and more will rock the Tomb of Doom. Pete Tong, Felix Da Housecat and more will spin in the House of Horror. Steve Lawler, James Lavelle, Steve Angello and more will carry on into the wee hours inside the Phantom Chamber. LTJ Bukem & MC Conrad and Black Sun Empire, among others, will haunt Witches Woods. It's sure to be a see-the-sun-up, Ecstasy-fueled extravaganza. Tickets are $50 (rising to $60 by show time), while VIP ducats start at $100 and will rise to $125 by the time doors open.
